I find it amusing you've been playing the game five times more than anyone else and you're complaining about having to win games  :laugh:

 

Me? Five times more than anyone else? IN THE WORLD? Hardly! Not sure you were addressing me, but i'm not really complaining, just saying :cry:

Dont get me wrong I love the fact there are challenges which make each gen different but give me 100 goosers over a 100 wins. I only say this because I dont get as much time to play as I would like. Love the game though..

I figure pretty much anyone at gen 8 has played more than five times most anyone else, but I don't have the stats in front of me.

From around gen 4, your ranking up so fast because of the gen xp boost. At gen 8 it takes about 20 games to hit rank 50.

Do we have to buy the expansion to get that? I been in matchmaking for 3 minutes now.

Reason why i dont play this game anymore and havent since a month after release.

Your post got me excited, so i decided to try. :(

 

Nope it should be via the recent title update. No need for any of the expansion packs. 

 

The update should complete before you can start the game.

Dude who are you talking to? Pusska or me? :|

I used to be anti-quoting, but then i realized it makes for poor posting!

 

And i'm Gen 4 dammit!

No other challenges require you to win games. It's kinda stupid because even if you're good and get MVP quite often like I do (or did until I stopped playing once getting to 8), your chances of winning are still only 50-50 because of the rest of your team. So it'll take 200 matches to win 100, which is just grinding and not particularly satisfying.

The perils of multiquote from different pages ooooooo

I haven't even had to wait to get in a match since it came out, except maybe half a minute once.

Meh, I'll still take that over rodeo kills. I'm on the winning team about 70 percent of the time if I remember correctly -- but rodeo kills are just going out of your way to play poorly, IMO.

Rodeo kills are easy: Get LMG, get Slammer mod (not entirely necessary, but you can kill a full health Titan with a full clip I believe), destroy all Titans :P

Not sure what's poor about that, though trying to use any other weapon to rodeo kill is probably a poor choice.

LMG with Slammer takes out a Titan in literally 2 secs. Even if they release the smoke it will be so fast that you can get it to nuclear and jump off before smoke reaches you.

 

Thanks man, that challenge hasn't come up for me yet, it's too bad relevant actions don't count towards challenges BEFORE the challenges go active. Then again that would have made them sort of pointless!

I know how to rodeo kill, my point was it's not a very tactically efficient method when there are far better options that are less likely to get you killed.

Agree, it's a nice touch that was added for the thrill factor. Lurking and letting rip with the Archer is much wiser, rodeos are a surefire way to get splattered.

Eh, you just need to be able to get on, get off, and disappear quickly. You shouldn't be running on the ground after a titan to try and rodeo it :P I find it more effective than antititan weapons quite often, but again only with the lmg.

Get on, get off, and disappear quickly is a specialty of mine, so should be easy to do :)

It's especially great if you can jump on, get them to waste their smoke while you jump off and cloak, and then just get right back on while they can't smoke you out anymore :laugh:

 

People have done this to me many times while i was the titan, flailing about helplessly as they mounted me again right after i blew my smoke... :rofl:

It does require good timing and attention!

On the front page too but here's the next set of DLC being launched

 

Interesting read of the description of the new DLC but it talks about hijacking Titans. Not sure what to make of this.

 

^ Ignore that, apparently they meant rodeo. Shame

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.
